My Summit experience:

My Summit experience.

What a weekend.

A wild, wonderful, fun, unique, interesting, strange, crazy, and amazing time I’ll never forget.

Spent the last few days on a cruise ship with 1800 strangers.

They’re the people shaping the world.

I had breakfast with Richard Branson.

Went shark snorkeling with investors who are pilots and trainers to the stars.

Ate lunch with a founder who sold his company for over a billion dollars.

Had dinner with a screenwriter, executive coach and aid worker turned crypto entrepreneur who helped build the Ethereum foundation.

Had multiple beautiful conversations with one of the youngest executives in Walmart’s history who now runs a nonprofit in India to stop human sex trafficking.

Drank with a young CEO who’s taking plastic out of the oceans by turning them into water bottles, who also went to the University of Edinburgh at the same time as me.

Partied next to a former NBA champion.

Played blackjack next to an international DJ.

Danced with a former world Series of poker champion and next to the leading voice in AI safety.

Watched the sunset with Henry Kissinnger’s goddaughter who’s a Harvard and Stanford-educated MD that started a diagnostic company that’s used all over the world.

Chatted with one of the sharks on Shark Tank.

Joked about being a Spurs fan to one of the most prominent professors/tech voices in the world.

All this in one weekend.

It was insane.

I still can’t believe I was there.

Some of the most fun I’ve ever had.

What Summit has created is nothing short of spectacular.

Amazing humans that are changing the world who are also so open and fun.

On their journeys.

Trying to be better.

Looking for souls to help them lead better lives.

So grateful to be there.

So awesome to be around some of the most inspiring people you’ll ever meet in your life.

Drinking, vibing, and hanging out.

Incredible.

Just incredible.

At a loss for words right now, but they’ll be more to come.
